 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

At present, in the mobile games such as a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), the following two manners are generally used to achieve the skill emission. In a first manner, a skill emission direction and an attack character are automatically determined by tapping a skill control, referring to a mobile game A shown in FIG. 1. In a second manner, in a mobile game B shown in FIG. 2, the skill is emitted by tapping a skill control and then tapping on an effective range of the game scene, and the distance and the target are determined and an attack is performed according to a position of the finger tapping on the screen.

In the above first manner, there are the following problems: first, the game skill may only be emitted in a single direction and a single distance; second, the user cannot independently select and control the direction and distance of the skill emission, and the user experience may be not good in a multiplayer competitive game. In the above second manner, there are the following problems: first, in case that the screen is relatively small, the finger may easily obstruct the screen when the user taps on the scene to select the target, resulting in an inaccurate selection or an incorrect operation, second, the operation of tapping the skill control and then tapping the emission position is tedious, and a displacement distance of the finger is relatively large when the skill emission is performed, resulting in a low efficiency of the skill emission; third, such method is not conducive to two-handed handheld devices for games, and the user experience may be not good.

The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for processing information. The method for processing information may be applied in a game application and may be presented by executing a software application on a processor of the terminal and rendering the resulting graphical user interface on a touch screen of the terminal. The graphical user interface may be an overall displayable area of the terminal, i.e., a full-screen touch screen; or may be a partially displayable area of the terminal, i.e., a window touch screen. The terminal may be an electronic device such as a desktop computer, or may be a portable electronic device such as a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a game machine, or a smart phone. The game system may be implemented on a terminal by installing a game application or other software application. The terminal includes at least a memory for storing data and a processor for data processing. In this exemplary embodiment, a mobile game of a touch terminal is used as an example for description. With reference to FIG. 3, the method for processing information may include the following steps.

In step S110, when a touch sliding event that passes through a control or starts from a control is detected, a distance between a current position of a touch point of the touch sliding event and a position of the control is calculated in real time.

In step S120, if the distance is greater than a first preset threshold, at least one of a direction and a distance of an emission operation for a corresponding skill of the control performed on a virtual character is adjusted according to the current position of the touch point.

According to the method for processing information in this exemplary embodiment, on the one hand, at least one of the direction and the distance of the skill emission is adjusted according to a change of the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event, and the skill emission operation can be accurately performed, thereby avoiding an occurrence of a large amount of misoperations, and increasing the accuracy of emission of the skill; on the other hand, the direction of the skill emission operation performed on the virtual character is adjusted according to an orientation of the current position of the touch point, which improves a degree of customization of the skill emission and diversity; on the other hand, reducing a range of finger operation when performing the skill emission operation simplifies the operation steps and improves the operation efficiency.

In the following, the method for processing information in this exemplary embodiment will be further described with reference to FIG. 3.

In the step S110, when a touch sliding event that passes through a control or uses a control as a starting point is detected, a distance between the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event and the position of the control is calculated in real time.

In this exemplary embodiment, before determining whether a touch sliding event is received, it may first detect whether a touch start operation or a trigger operation is received. The touch start operation may be an operation in which the finger touches the touch interface, that is, the touch interface may be touched by the finger, or the touch interface may be touched by different gestures such as tapping, double-tapping, panning, pressing, dragging, and the like. When it is detected that a finger touches the touch screen to start a touch operation, the system may acquire a position where the touch start operation occurs according to the touch start operation of the finger touching the touch interface. The control may be a skill control, and an area including the skill control may be a skill area. After the touch start operation is received, it may be determined whether the touch start operation is within the skill area by comparing a coordinate of the position of the touch start operation with a coordinate of a range boundary of the skill area. The skill area may include a plurality of different skill controls, the skill area may be set at a bottom right corner or at any position of the graphical user interface, and the skill area may be an area having an arbitrary shape, which are not specifically limited by the present exemplary embodiment. After it is determined that the position where the touch start operation occurs is within the skill area, it may be detected whether there is a touch sliding event continuous with the touch start operation on the touch interface. The position of the touch start operation may be on the skill control, or may be at any position in the skill area, or may be at any position in any area.

The touch sliding event may be continuous with the touch start operation, or they may be separated by a preset interval. The touch sliding event acting on the control may use any skill control within the skill area as a start point, or may use any position on the graphical user interface as the start point, and a track of the touch sliding event needs to pass through any skill control within the skill area. The touch sliding event may be an operation that a finger slides an arbitrary distance in an arbitrary direction on the touch interface, which is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment. For example, the touch sliding event may be within the skill area, or may slide from the skill area to any position on the touch interface.

After the touch sliding event acting on the control is detected, the position of the corresponding control and the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event may be acquired through a coordinate system or other manners, and a distance between the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event and the position of the control is calculated in real time according to a distance calculation formula, where the distance may be calculated by a function or other means.

In addition, in the example embodiment, the touch sliding event is an event in response to a touch sliding on the control, or an event in response to a tap touch sliding on the control, or an event in response to a re-press touch sliding on the control.

In this exemplary embodiment, the touch sliding event acting on the skill control may be an ordinary slide operation, or may be a tap touch sliding event composed of a tap operation and a slide operation, or may be a re-press touch sliding event composed of a press operation and a slide operation. In addition, the touch sliding event may be a lightly pressed touch sliding event or other types of touch sliding event, which is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment. In this exemplary embodiment, the ordinary touch sliding event is taken as an example for description.

In the step S120, when the distance is greater than the first preset threshold, at least one of the direction and the distance of the emission operation for the corresponding skill of the control performed on the virtual character is adjusted according to the current position of the touch point.

In this exemplary embodiment, it may be first determined whether the distance between the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event and the position of the control is greater than a first preset threshold. The first preset threshold may be used as a minimum distance for skill emission, and may be greater than a radius of the skill control, that is, the touch sliding event may occur in a skill area outside the skill control. When the distance between the current position of the touch point and the position of the control is greater than the first preset threshold, the direction of the skill emission may be adjusted according to the orientation of the current position of the touch point. Specifically, when the current position of the touch point changes, the orientation of the touch point may be re-determined according to the current position of the touch point, and a specific target or a range of skill emission may be determined by the current position of the touch point, in turn, the direction of skill emission may be determined based on an angle between the orientation of the current position of the touch point and a coordinate axis. For example, referring to (a) in FIG. 5, the current position of the touch point is in a direction of 10 o'clock, and referring to (b) in FIG. 5, the current position of the touch point is in a direction of 9 o'clock. Then, in the game scenario, the direction of the skill emission is adjusted from 10 o'clock to 9 o'clock correspondingly.

In addition, when the distance between the current position of the touch point and the position of the control is greater than the first preset threshold, the distance of the skill emission may also be adjusted according to the distance between the current position of the touch point and the position of the skill control. For example, the skill control in a game may include a direction controlling, a distance controlling, direction and distance controlling, and other types. Referring to FIG. 6, for a skill that includes a preset skill emission range, an attack distance thereof cannot be adjusted, so the direction of performing the skill emission operation may only be adjusted according to the orientation of the touch point. The area where the preset skill is emitted may be an area range with an axisymmetric property, where a center of the touch point is used as an end point, and a connection line between the touch point and the skill emission position is used as an axis of symmetry, and the skill emission area may have a sector shape, a fan shape, a rectangle shape, an arrow shape, a circle shape or any other shape, which is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment. For the skills with dual properties of directionality and distance, both the attack distance and the attack direction may be adjusted. In the actual application scenario, the direction of the skill emission may be adjusted according to the orientation of the touch point, and the distance of the skill emission may be adjusted according to the distance between the current position of the touch point and the position of the skill control.

In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, the above method for processing information may further include:

detecting whether there is a touch end event continuous with the touch sliding event;

if the touch end event is detected, determine whether the distance between the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event and the position of the control is greater than a second preset threshold; and

if the distance between the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event and the position of the control is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the emission operation for the corresponding skill of the control is performed on the virtual character.

In this exemplary embodiment, after the touch sliding event, whether there is a touch end event continuous with the touch sliding event may be detected. The touch end event may be an operation of the finger leaving the touch interface, or an operation that the finger continues to stay at the end of the touch sliding event for more than a preset time, and may also be other operations, which is not limited in this exemplary embodiment. For example, after the user determines the target or range of skill emission through the touch sliding event, the user may lift the finger to move the finger away from the touch interface, or may keep the finger at the end of the track of the touch sliding event for a time equal to or exceeding the preset time, so as to end the current touch sliding event.

In this exemplary embodiment, when the touch end event that the finger leaves the touch interface is detected, whether the distance between the touch point and the skill control is greater than a second preset threshold is determined, so as to determine whether to perform the skill emission operation. In this exemplary embodiment, the second preset threshold is greater than the first preset threshold, and the second preset threshold may be a critical point of a maximum distance at which the skill is emitted. When the distance between the touch point and the skill control is within a range between the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold, the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event may be determined as the position of emitting the skill, and then the skill emission operation corresponding to the skill control may be performed at this position. In a mobile game, a certain skill may be continuously emitted multiple times, or after each skill is emitted, a next skill may be emitted after a short preset time.

Referring to (a) in FIG. 5, the touch point is located at a minimum starting distance of the skill emission. Since the distance between the touch point and the skill control is within the skill emission range, the skill emission operation may be performed; and referring to (b) in FIG. 5, the touch point is located at a maximum emission distance of the skill emission, and the distance between the touch point and the skill control is equal to the second preset threshold, then the skill emission operation may be performed on the virtual character.

In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, the above method for processing information may further include:

if it is determined that the distance between the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event and the position of the control is greater than the second preset threshold, canceling performing the emission operation for the corresponding skill of the control on the virtual character.

In this exemplary embodiment, when the distance between the touch point and the skill control exceeds the second preset threshold of the maximum distance of the skill emission, the skill emission operation may be cancelled. As shown in (c) in FIG. 5, the current position of the touch point exceeds the skill emission range, and therefore, the cancellation of the skill emission operation may be triggered. Here, the cancellation of the emission operation may provide the user with an “estopper operation” so as to avoid causing misoperation, and achieve an effective emission of the skill.

In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, the above method for processing information may further include:

detecting whether there is a touch end event continuous with the touch sliding event; and

if the touch end event is detected, performing an emission operation for the corresponding skill of the control on the virtual character.

In this exemplary embodiment, when a touch end event that is continuous with the touch sliding event is detected, the skill emission operation may be directly performed on the virtual character without considering the distance between the end point of the touch sliding event and the skill control. Using this method will not miss an opportunity to emit skills, and can improve the efficiency of skill emission.

In addition, in the exemplary embodiment, the first preset threshold is positively correlated to a minimum emission distance of the skill emission operation, and the second preset threshold is positively correlated to a maximum emission distance of the skill emission operation.

In this exemplary embodiment, the first preset threshold may be positively related to the minimum distance of skill emission. That is, the smaller the first preset threshold is, the shorter the minimum distance of skill emission is, and the shorter the required track of the touch sliding event when the skill emission operation is performed within the preset skill emission range is. The second preset threshold may be positively related to the maximum distance of the skill emission. The larger the second preset threshold is, the greater the maximum distance of skill emission is, and the more efficient of emitting the skill within the preset range is.

In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, the above method for processing information may further include:

if the touch sliding event is detected, determining whether the distance between the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event and the position of the control is greater than a third preset threshold; wherein the third preset is less than or equal to the first preset threshold; and

if it is determined that the distance between the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event and the position of the control is greater than the third preset threshold, displaying an auxiliary object on the graphic user interface.

In this exemplary embodiment, when a touch sliding event is detected in the skill area, it may be determined whether to display the auxiliary object by determining whether the distance between the end point of the touch control and the skill control is greater than the third preset threshold. The third preset threshold may be equal to or less than the first preset threshold, that is, the third preset threshold may be less than or equal to a radius of any skill control. The auxiliary object may be displayed when a touch sliding event with a short skill area is detected, and then a length of the auxiliary object is calculated based on the distance between the current position of the touch point and the position of the control. By displaying the auxiliary object, the user can more intuitively and clearly identify and adjust the direction and distance of the skill emission.

In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, the auxiliary object is an auxiliary line; wherein the auxiliary line uses the control as a starting point and the current position of the touch point as an end point.

In this exemplary embodiment, the auxiliary object may be an auxiliary line. The starting point of the auxiliary line may be a center point of the skill control, or may be a center point of the finger touching the touch interface. The end point of the auxiliary line may be the current position of the touch point. The auxiliary line may be a solid line, a dotted line, or other forms of line. Referring to FIG. 4, when the distance between the current position of the touch point and the skill control is greater than the third preset threshold, an auxiliary line in the form of a dashed line may be displayed; and when the distance between the current position of the touch point and the skill control is greater than the first preset threshold, the auxiliary line may be changed following the change of the current position of the touch point.

In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, adjusting the direction of the emission operation for the corresponding skill of the control performed on the virtual character according to the current position of the touch point includes:

when the current position of the touch point changes, adjusting the direction of the emission operation for the corresponding skill of the control according to a mapping relationship between an angle of the auxiliary line and the direction of the skill emission operation.

In this exemplary embodiment, the angle of the auxiliary line may be determined according to the orientation where the current position of the touch point is located, and then the direction of the skill emission may be determined according to the angle of the auxiliary line. When the current position of the touch point changes, the direction of the skill emission operation may be adjusted according to a one-to-one correspondence between the angle of the auxiliary line and the direction of the skill emission operation.

In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, adjusting the distance of the emission operation for the corresponding skill of the control performed on the virtual character according to the current position of the touch point includes:

when the current position of the touch point changes, adjusting the distance of the emission operation for the corresponding skill of the control according to a mapping relationship between a length of the auxiliary line and the distance of the skill emission operation.

In this exemplary embodiment, the length of the auxiliary line may be determined according to the current position of the touch point, and then the distance of the skill emission may be determined according to the length of the auxiliary line. When the current position of the touch point changes, the distance of the skill emission operation may be adjusted according to a one-to-one correspondence between the length of the auxiliary line and the distance of the skill emission operation.

In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, when it is determined that the distance between the current position of the touch point of the touch sliding event and the position of the control is greater than the second preset threshold, the auxiliary line is distinctively displayed to prompt to cancel the emission operation for the corresponding skill of the control performed on the virtual character.

In this exemplary embodiment, when the distance between the current position of the touch point and the skill control is greater than the second preset threshold, the auxiliary line may be distinctively displayed to prompt to cancel the skill emission operation. For example, the auxiliary line may be displayed in a bold outline, or the auxiliary line may be displayed in a highlighted form, or the auxiliary line may be displayed in a blinking manner or in any other form, which is not particularly limited in the exemplary embodiment. A loop algorithm or other algorithm may be used to determine whether the distance between the current position of the touch point and the skill control is greater than the second preset threshold, so as to determine whether it is necessary to display the auxiliary line distinctively and cancel the skill emission operation.

Referring to (c) in FIG. 5, when the distance between the current position of the touch point and the skill control is greater than the second preset threshold, the auxiliary line may be displayed in a bold outline, and a maximum range of the skill emission may also be displayed in a bold outline to prompt the cancellation of the skill emission operation on the virtual character. Through the distinctive display of the auxiliary line, the user can more accurately perform the cancellation of the skill emission operation, avoid a large number of misoperations, and provide the user with an “estopper operation” for the skill emission.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an apparatus for processing information is further provided. Referring to FIG. 7, the apparatus for processing information 200 may include: a position determining module 201 and an emission execution module 202.

The position determining module 201 may be configured to, when a touch sliding event passing a control or starting from a control is detected, calculate a distance between a current position of a touch point of the touch sliding event and a position of the control in real time.
